UK Rider Jailed After Fleeing Police on Sur-Ron, Dumping E-Bike Off a Bridge

Seeing news like this worries me that public perception of electric motorcycles is going to get even harsher.

Getting an actual prison sentence suggests there were probably other offenses or the malice was pretty severe.

High-power electric bikes like the Sur-Ron seem to run into trouble a lot over the gray zone of public road use.

Escalating to the point of a police helicopter getting involved—he really should've just stopped in the first place.

Trying to destroy the evidence but ending up leaving decisive video footage instead is just plain dumb.
